I drag a boat over the ocean
with a solid rope.
Will God hear?
Will he take me all the way?
Like water in goblets of unbaked clay
I drip out slowly,
and dry.
My soul whirls. Dizzy. Let me
discover my home.
(Lal Ded)
"If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together." -Aboriginal Activist Sister

I like this poem. Where'd you find it?
I found it in The Shambhala Anthology of Women's Spiritual Poetry...edited by Aliki Barnstone. I knew you would like it, my poetry writing sister.
